🚨 Elon Musk might be getting political — and not just with tweets.

The world’s richest man has threatened to launch a new political party — the America Party — if the controversial “Big Beautiful Bill” passes in Congress.

This comes amid a public falling-out between Musk and Donald Trump, despite once being allies in the White House. Musk blasted the bill — which would increase America’s debt — and even ran a paid ad on X calling out politicians who support it, branding them "LIARS" with a Pinocchio meme.

“If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day,” Musk tweeted. “Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.”

📊 Can a third party win?
Musk’s recent X poll asked if a new centrist party should be launched. Over 5.6 million voted — with 80% saying YES.

This comes as third-party interest rises across the U.S. Former presidential candidate Andrew Yang even reached out to Musk about collaborating.

Historically, third parties haven’t fared well in presidential elections. The last to win was in 1848 — Zachary Taylor of the Whig Party. Since 1853, only Democrats and Republicans have held the White House.

But Musk isn’t just any outsider — he owns the platform where political conversations are happening, has a global fanbase, and billions to fund a campaign.

📈 Betting markets are taking note:
– Polymarket odds Musk forms a party by Dec 31: 43%
– Kalshi odds (as of July 1): 47%, up from 5%

So… will Musk actually run? Will the America Party shake up the 2026 or 2028 elections?

👀 One thing’s certain: if anyone can disrupt a 170-year-old system, it’s Elon Musk.
